Lampard also gave a first Premier League start to 18-year-old anchor Billy Gilmour in the absence of experienced midfielders N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, who were both injured, and Jorginho who was suspended. Two more teenagers who joined Chelsea as youngsters - Faustino Anjorin and Armando Broja - came on in the second half to make their league debuts, following on the heels of other young prospects who have broken into the team this season.
LIVE: Scottish Premiership season endedCeltic urge fans to stay away from stadiumBudge given reconstruction go-aheadCeltic were 13 points ahead of nearest challengers Rangers - having played a game more - when the season was put into abeyance.

Read more about the youngster here 10:40 - 'Arsenal could lose star strikers if Emery stays' Arsenal could lose two key stars, Roma want to keep Chris Smalling, Watford look to employ their third manager of the season and Liverpool confirm a substitute manager in the Carabao Cup.
Watch the full interview on Football Focus on BBC One from 12:00 GMT on Saturday. Letting goThree years after retiring from a 21-year playing career, Lampard is in his first season as a Premier League manager. Having implemented a fast and fluent brand of football since becoming Chelsea manager in July, Lampard has shown he is a quick learner after spending last term cutting his teeth in the Championship with Derby.
The protests started up again last week after a police truck ran over and killed a fan of the Colo Colo club following a match against Palestino. The killing prompted fans from rival clubs to unite in protest against what they say is brutal treatment of the Chilean police, known as the Carabineros. Several human rights groups accuse security forces of violations that range from rape to torture and undue force.
At 25 years old, Tolisso is a young man full of ambition and if he continues to be out of favour he may well force a move this summer. WHO IS INTERESTED? Tolisso’s talent should attract many of the top clubs around Europe. Arsenal and Manchester United are both reportedly taking a close look at him. Tolisso will be expensive, but at his age it could be a very prudent signing for one of the top sides in the Premier League or beyond.
Cordeiro apologised on Wednesday for language in a court filing made by the federation in a legal dispute with its women's national team over pay equity. The filing said men's national team players had a greater level of responsibility than the women and that their job "requires a higher level of skill based on speed and strength".
Footballers - they're good eggs, you know. Some of them have been giving up their time to help children doing school lessons from home during the coronavirus pandemic. As part of BBC Bitesize's daily lessons, Watford captain Troy Deeney has been helping kids analyse literature, Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has shown how to calculate the area of a football pitch in just under 20 seconds and, on Thursday, Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will be teaching Spanish.

Ter Stegen pulled off another impressive stop to deny Alvaro Morata’s header from breaking the deadlock before Gerard Pique powered a header from a corner kick down into the turf and on to the crossbar. The match looked set to end in stalemate until Messi picked up the ball, played a one-two with Luis Suarez and guided a trademark left-footed finish into the far corner of the net, once again sending Barcelona ahead of rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga on goal difference.
Eight minutes later, Austin won it for Albion when he peeled away at the far post to meet Darnell Furlong's right-wing cross with a textbook header. Relive Saturday's EFL actionAustin's quickfire double took his personal goal tally to six in his past five appearances after a faltering start to his Albion career - and his team back to the top of the Championship, although Leeds will return to the summit if they beat Cardiff at Elland Road (15:00 GMT kick-off).
The Argentine coach was missing eight first-team players, including club record signing Joao Felix, top scorer Alvaro Morata and crucial defenders Kieran Trippier and Jose Gimenez. He could, however, count on Koke, his longest-serving player who has been instrumental in the team's many successes during his tenure as coach.
A German fourth-tier club have sold more than 100,000 tickets for a match against an "invisible opponent" - despite averaging crowds of 3,000. Lokomotive Leipzig have been selling e-tickets for one euro (88p) each for the event, scheduled for 8 May. They are planning it to help cope with financial pressures resulting from the suspension of football in the country because of the coronavirus pandemic.
We made a mistake for the first goal. Pepe came out for a ball he wasn't going to get and made Barnes' goal easy," he said. One of my biggest regrets was how we gave the ball away so cheaply against a team who want the football. We made a big error. Teams capitalise on our errors. We've probably made more individual errors than anyone his season.
Stam saw some Bayern players looking at the trophy as they walked past it. Great,” he thought. Have a good look but don’t touch it. It doesn’t belong to you. There was a bit of sympathy for Bayern from the man who inserted the dagger. To lose in that way must be terrible," said Solskjaer. To win it that way is that much better.
There is also the possibility to finish the season at the start of next season, with next season starting a little late. It would have to work with respect to the players and the signing periods. Messi and the Barca players help out, but the politics continue If you were being churlish you could say that it’s the absolute least they can do, but it was slightly heartening to hear Leo Messi confirm that Barcelona’s players are set to take a 70% pay cut and also “make contributions” to ensure that the club’s non-playing staff are paid during this crisis.
West Ham have agreed a £13m deal to sign Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Soucek from Slavia Prague. Manager David Moyes confirmed Soucek, 24, is undergoing a medical at the Hammers' Rush Green training ground. He fits the profile of the player I want," Moyes said of Soucek, who has 25 caps for his country. Moyes, who replaced Manuel Pellegrini on 30 December, said the club have also submitted a bid for another player, who is believed to be a right-back.
Mount: This was a disappointing performance from Everton and a sure indication to Carlo Ancelotti of the players capable of taking the club to the next level. One player who is destined for the highest level is Mason Mount. This Chelsea starlet has been groomed for the top by Frank Lampard and his performance against a poor Everton was emphatic. He made his intentions clear in the opening exchanges of the match when he forced a first-class save from Jordan Pickford.
Man of the match - Clevid DikamonaGiving a defender the award in a 3-0 win may seem strange, but Dikamona was fantastic. The Frenchman impressed against Rangers on Saturday when he came on for the injured John Souttar and he was superb at the back once more. His reading of the game allowed Aaron Hickey to venture forward, and his physicality ensured he won the game-long battle with Hibs' most dangerous player in Martin Boyle.
Premier League football is on its way back. No ball has been kicked in the top flight since mid-March after the season was suspended indefinitely because of coronavirus but players are back in training and it emerged on Thursday that the season will resume on 17 June. With social distancing rules in place, no fans in the stadiums and the possibility of being able to make five substitutions, it will be a very different football to the one we enjoyed before the suspension, but it will at least allow the 2019-20 campaign to be completed.
In the first leg the two teams drew with 1-1. Leicester With a good form this season, it is very likely that Brendan Rodgers wants to have a title with their team and they are very close to doing that. Leicester is a very strong team this season and the opportunity to continue for the home team is relatively difficult. Leicester City have lost in the last 2 rounds in the Premier League recently, but they regained their sense of victory with a 4-1 win over West Ham, and then they have another victory in the FA Cup. I choose Leicester
It was my dream job. I loved doing what I did. Speaking to Football Focus, he added: "If there was an opportunity to get back into that, nobody in their right mind would turn it down. I am a 34-year-old. If I was a player I would be finishing now, as a referee if I was to go back into that group now I would still be one of the youngest. I still have a lot of years in me to do it. Madley used to be part of the group of 18 full-time professional referees in England and officiated the 2017 Community Shield at Wembley.

The next test for Pep Clotet and his men isn’t quite as difficult. The hosts are facing off with Wigan on New Years’ Day, aiming to leave their poor form back in 2019. Will the hosts get the year off to a winning start, or will the Latics turn a corner with an away victory following months of pain on their travels?
We shall continue to take the strongest action possible against anyone found to be behaving in this way. Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger was also allegedly racially abused in the match, and the German defender urged the club to find and punish those involved. Spurs said their investigation into that "remains ongoing".
However, on the pitch the side have stayed pretty resolute and they come into this match undefeated in their last nine home matches. Although the league table is not exactly pretty for them, they will be delighted to have a five point lead and a game in hand over the side in the solitary relegation spot. If the Silkmen are to accomplish their goal and retain their spot in the Football League for next season, then they are going to have to ensure a defence which has seen them concede just 26 times this season remains on song for the remainder of the campaign.
That's a big part of my job. We have players with experience but also younger players. They have to understand about the mindset levels. A big part of my job tomorrow (Tuesday) is we need to be at our maximum. We must make sure every detail is ticked in both games. We cannot get caught up in moments.
Our latest episode tackles one of football’s biggest questions: what on earth happens next? Everyone has an opinion. Harry Kane wants a June cut-off for the Premier League while Gary Neville has unveiled his five-point plan to save the season. Oh, and there’s also a mad report suggesting teams could be put in isolation camps, similar to a World Cup, and play out matches behind-closed-doors in a "TV mega event".
After a busy midweek schedule, the Championship returns on Saturday with a huge clash in the playoff chase. Both Swansea and Fulham sat in the top five after their midweek results, but the pair go head to head this week in search of vital points towards their push for the Premier League.
More often than not in modern football, you get what you pay for. You'll never walk alonePlayers come and go, but the constant at any club is its fans. The Liverpool supporters have had to wait longer than they imagined for this 19th title and have suffered some agonising near misses. They will also be denied the true experience of celebrating their side's charge towards the title this season with the last nine games being played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their last seven home matches and head out to meet a side that they have not lost to in the last eight matches. Cardiff City have also not had a very good run away from home and that could come to haunt them here. Sheffield have been pretty consistent in attack, though they don’t score a lot of goals. They have not score more than one goal in 10 of the last 15 matches, but have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches. They have failed to score in just one of their last 11 Championship matches at home, and that was against a considerable strong side – Leeds United. Facing a Cardiff side with just two clean sheets in 12 away matches, we can bet on Sheffield to score here, but we will go further and pick a 1-0 win on the correct score scale.
We are not planning any general redundancies or furloughs for our full-time staff who are continuing to be paid 100% of their current wages," the statement continued. We are continuing our current level of financial and other support to our professional women players and also to our women's academy programmes. Arsenal's first-team players and head coach Mikel Arteta have agreed a 12. Liverpool, Tottenham and Bournemouth reversed their decisions to furlough staff.
Wolverhampton has to cope with the injuries suffered by defending Bole and young midfielder Gibbs-White. The Mexican international Raul Jimenez was elected player of the month of Premier League in November. Wolverhampton have advantage on paper, but itll be a close call. We are calling this one a 1-0 victory for Wolves, who can keep marching on in the top half of the Premier League.
Today, in the Primera liga will be played the match Mallorca vs Barcelona FC. Now, in the Primera liga ranking, Mallorca is number 18 with 25 points, and the top team of the Primera Liga. Barcelona fc is number 1 with 58 points. Here, the favorite team is FC Barcelona, and this team will win without problems this match and 3 points, but I think that here they will win with Ah-1, 5, because is the 1er match, and in the last 5 meetings, Barcelona Fc has 5 wins with Ah -1 , 5 . It' s a good bet for this match. Good day
Gijon should not be team, that is outside in the Ponafredina, especially after their rival is back from the visit where conceded two goals for easy lose in Granada.

Lazio's matches -- away to Genoa last Sunday and at home to Bologna on Saturday -- were in regions unaffected by coronavirus. I am worried about Inter's game against Sassuolo next Sunday," added Marotta. How do we deal with that? We can't play behind closed doors because it would be absurd to use a measure one week that we didn't use the week before.
Atalanta are unbeaten in their last four Serie A meetings against Parma and could avoid defeat in five in a row for the very first time. They aren’t exactly great against stronger sides though, having failed to win all but one of their clashes with top-half teams this season. Atalanta have conceded in six of those seven clashes, while they’ve shipped 1.75 goals per game at home.

He would throw to me at the Bridge when appropriate, so when Chelsea scored their first goal, his celebrations gave the cue for all eyes to move to the TV screens. This video shows the scene when the equaliser went in and everyone inside The Local Hero, close to the King Power, saw Jason going crackers listening to me scream that Hazard had scored. I was in full flight, calling every millimetre. The tone of my voice had upped, as had the volume.
